A Week Off...But Not Really

This Sunday is Mission BreakOUT, where we leave the comfort of our church and venture out into the community to work. There is no choir rehearsal this Sunday, as we will gather at 9:30 for a brief worship service, organize our work teams and go out into the community.

If you have not signed up for a work site, we have three opportunities that still need to be filled.

The Great Plains Food Bank 1720 3rd Ave North, Fargo. Volunteers are needed to work with packaged food items

Luther Hall (Lutheran Social Services) 1505 5th Ave. South, Fargo. Painters are needed to paint a garage. Supplies will be provided.

New American Services 1325 11^th Street South, Fargo. Sorting warehoused clothing and materials for new members of our community.

Please remember to dress casually and appropriate for the work that you are planning to do. Bringing a pair of work gloves is always a good idea.

This is a week off from singing...but it's not really a week off. This is an opportunity to carry our faith into action and out of the church doors.

On October 17th, First Pres is hosting an American Guild of Organists concert, Basically Brahms. Our choir will be one of the anchor choirs for this event. Please let us know if you plan to participate. Visit the Basically Brahms Blog for concert and rehearsal information, as well as printable music scores and rehearsal resources. Consider using this event (and email the blog link) to invite a friend to join you in this community opportunity.
